    Becoming an Imperfect Advocate

    SEASON 2 - "The Neuroaffirming Parent" is an uplifting and educational podcast dedicated to supporting Neurodivergent and Neurotypical parents, educators, activists, and listeners in creating a nurturing, affirming, and neuroinclusive environment for neurodiverse household in a neurodiverse world. Music source: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/holiznacc0/ Track: Earth by HoliznaCC0 From the Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC 3.0 Episode 4: Becoming an Imperfect Advocate Check out my book at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-imperfect-advocate-d-w/1144444132 In this episode I share why I wrote a book. I share more details of my personal history involving dispute resolution within the special education system in Georgia, USA. It provided me with a wealth of experiences, insights, and challenges. I utilized this background knowledge to write my book, "The Imperfect Advocate". I share my IEE request letter and ultimately the IEP revocation letter that lead up to the final withdrawal from public school education all together. Find more information on IEP and IEE at: https://adayinourshoes.com/iee-independent-education-evaluation/ I want to share my experience to help parents understand that if they are currently in the public school and special education battle, they're not alone. I have been there too. There is light at the end of the tunnel. My hope is that season 2 will help people realize and empathize with other homeschool families like myself. Parents should work together to facilitate change and fight for all education to improve to work for the families that the tax dollars are from. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

    The Neuroaffirming Parent Holiday Special 2023

    "The Neuroaffirming Parent" is an uplifting and educational podcast dedicated to supporting Neurodivergent and Neurotypical parents, educators, activists, and listeners in creating a nurturing, affirming, and neuroinclusive environment for neurodiverse household in a neurodiverse world. Music source: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/holiznacc0/ Intro & Outro Music: Winter Blues by HoliznaCC0 From the Free Music Archive, CC BY-NC 3.0 --- Please join me in welcoming back to the show…  Mr. Neuroaffirming Parent!  He’s joining me on this Holiday Special to talk about our favorite memories of our past holiday celebrations, how we individually handled holiday stress, how we’ve handled it together as a couple, and how we handle holidays today as parents!  We want to remind our listeners that Neurodiversity simply means valuing and celebrating the diversity of neurological differences of human brains.  Examples are maybe yourself, your friends, or family members have the neurotype of ADHD, autism, dyslexia, giftedness, dyspraxia, epilepsy, anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other brain wiring difference. As neuroaffirming parents, we understand the importance of embracing these differences in our own family. We hope this conversation helps you better understand neurodivergence in your own family.  --- We hope you found these tips on handling the winter holidays in a neurodiversity-affirming way helpful. Remember, the key is to celebrate your child's uniqueness and make the season enjoyable for your whole family. Remember, every human is unique, and the strategies that work best for one human may differ for another. Be willing to adapt and evolve your approach as you learn more about neurodiversity and the needs and strengths of all humans. Incorporating neurodiversity affirming practices is an ongoing journey of learning, empathy, and growth. The Neuroaffirming Parent will be taking time off for the holidays, but look back in January for news about a potential season 2! Happy holidays to all who celebrate!

I know a lot of listeners signed up to hear a interview style podcast, but I'm not sure if it's sustainable for me. However, I can say that a solo podcast style is something I am able to do. It all depends on your support! So if you like this, let me know on instagram @theneuroaffirimingparentpodcast --- This episode is all about exploring a captivating topic that merges cosmology, pattern recognition, astrology, and string theory with a twist - the connection to neurodiversity. Remember, every human is unique, and the strategies that work best for one human may differ for another. Be willing to adapt and evolve your approach as you learn more about neurodiversity and the needs and strengths of all humans.
